- I left a message earlier specifying some mailing contacts re: TopSoft C but
- inadvertently included old info. Here it is again, with all references to
- events removed:
-
- The Topsoft lists are:
-
- ts-announce (a list for product announcements, moderated)
- ts-general (a general, chit-chat list, also gets the ts-announce mail)
- ts-request (an address for mail administration)
- ts-info (an address for requesting info about TopSoft)
-
- ft-announce (a list for product announcements)
- ft-general (general chit-chat, also gets the ft-announce mail)
- ft-request (request to be added/removed from the list)
- ft-info (an address to request info about FilterTop)
-
- tc-announce (a list for product announcements)
- tc-general (general chit-chat, also gets the tc-announce mail)
- tc-request (request to be added/removed from the list)
- tc-info (a list to request info about TopSoftC)
-
- NOTE: You really should only need to be on one list in any particular project
- to get the level of mail your interested in. For instance, if you only want
- announcements about the FilterTop project, then you should subscribe to
- ft-announce. If, on the other hand, you want to be privy to all of the general
- chit-chat that takes place, you should subscribe to ft-gen: it receives
- ft-announce traffic as well as ft-gen traffic.
-
- -----
-
- All of the lists are '@syrinx.kgs.ukans.edu'. To subscribe to any of the
- lists, send your request to the xx-request list. Your main interest is in
- the 'C' project, which is currently called TopSoft C, so send your request
- to tc-request@syrinx.kgs.ukans.edu. If you have any problems, a human
- contact is Fred Terry (pfterry@syrinx.kgs.ukans.edu).
-
- A warning: if you sign up for ts-general, you will get a fair amount of
- mail, some of which is the inevitable flame traffic when a group of people
- try and discuss topics like the best way to do a user interface via EMail.

-
- TopSoft also maintains a site for anonymous ftp. The site name is
- syrinx.kgs.ukans.edu, and you would look in the /topsoft directory.
-
- Meetings, oh yes, there is a weekly (quite regular) meeting of TopSoft
- folks via the internet on Wednesday nights. It currently is starting at
- 6:00 PM PST, which wraps around to 10am Thursday in Perth, where Peter
- Lewis hosts the meeting. Telnet to Peter's Chat Line (134.7.122.51 1420).
